The Muse Colony: Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas, Robert Frost and Friends - Dymock 1914
KEITH CLARK
Just before the outbreak of war in 1914, the small Gloucestershire village of Dymock became the focal point for some of the finest young poets of their generation. It was a short-lived rural idyll, broken by the war in which Thomas and Brooke lost their lives, but nevertheless an important episode in the history of English literature.
Keith Clark explores the reasons for this flight to the country, and the poetry which was inspired by life in Dymock. The book´s themes are illuminated by a generous selection of the poets´ work, some of which is here brought back into print for the first time for many years.
